In the back of the shop, makeup artist Tisa Camet has carved out a light-filled nook for her new makeup and skin-care counter, featuring Being True, a minerals line, and Luzern, a cosmeceuticals brand mostly seen in resorts and spas. A makeup artist for 15 years, Camet pulls out her brushes for lessons and applications, and does spray-on tans and eyebrow shaping. And if that’s not enough to keep everyone busy, Short and company also recently expanded into the Maple Street shoe space formerly occupied by Victoria’s (which now has moved to 4858 Magazine St.)

Myers & White2036 Magazine St., 504.529.8945Gerry White and Melissa Myers, a husband-and-wife design team, are the creators of this eye-catching and altogether different line of hand-etched jewelry.

Previously featured in the Ogden Museum’s Center for Southern Craft and Design, the couple’s necklaces, earrings and pendants start out as thick plate glass. Myers dreams up the patterns and shapes — from abstract swirls to banana leaves to stylized paisleys — and White etches them out, sandblasts the edges, creating rivulets and ravines.

Though statement-making in size, the pieces seem almost delicate on the body. All of the work is done in the back shop of the Magazine Street townhouse, where the couple lives upstairs and recently opened a long, slender gallery on the first floor. Tall front windows fill the tranquil, cream-colored space with natural light, making the glass jewelry glow.

She’s perfected it at Em’s, her 6-year-old Metairie Road boutique, and now she’s taking her show Uptown. But instead of just opening up another Em’s and calling it a day, Walker has decided to go in a new direction with her second shop, kitting it out with affordable, trendy fare under her own private label.

Named after her nieces, Emilee and Olivia, this is the place to hunt for that dolman-sleeve top, colorful scarf, straw fedora, tie-dye cardigan and other of-the-moment items. The stock here is easy on the eye and on the budget, ranging from T-shirts for $25 to cocktail frocks, perfect for high school homecomings and sorority formals, ringing in around $85.

Fair Folks & a Goat2116 Chartres St, 504.872.9260, www.fairfolksandagoat.comOn first glance it’s hard to tell that this curious Faubourg Marigny emporium is actually a shop. And that’s the idea.

Just a half-block off busy Frenchman Street, housed in a bracketed shotgun double that previously was a bed and breakfast, Fair Folks & a Goat is a millennial interpretation of a Jazz Age salon. Think of those fabulous Parisian gathering spots where Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Woolf hashed over the latest literary gossip. FF&G isn’t quite that, but its aim is close — just tack on a retail component.

The idea is to create a watering hole, where you can sip Darjeeling with like-minded artistic types, and if you happen to like the tea cup, or the tea pot for that matter, you can buy it and take it home. Free movie nights, held in the back courtyard, art openings and trunk shows are regularly scheduled. (On Oct. 1, the shop hosts a trunk show of handmade crafts by local Craft Mafia member and blogger Miss Malaprop.)

The rooms are styled like living areas, with a parlor in front housing a smattering of dresses and skirts by local designers Jolie & Elizabeth and Ottilie Brodmann as well as jewelry and other accessories. Wander into another room, and you’ll find bookshelves filled with interesting baubles. Everything is for sale, from the paintings on the wall to the lamps on the coffee table, though there’s not a price tag to be seen.

This is the second FF&G. The first is a teahouse within an Upper East Side ballroom, a stone’s throw from the Guggenheim in New York. While the stock is still evolving at the New Orleans location, the name alone (ask for the story behind it ­— something about astrological signs and combining the owners’ names) is intriguing enough to warrant a visit.

Gogo2036 Magazine St., 504.529.8868, www.ilovegogojewelry.comThink of it as Gogo concentrate. Gogo Borgerding, the petite pixie of an artist who fashions sterling silver and anodized aluminum into fabulous pop-art cuffs, earrings and necklaces, has moved her gallery downriver. In the slim space, she’s now able to focus mostly on her own work, as well as a few other curiosities that catch her eye — like the back wall filled with her collection of vintage paint by numbers paintings.

Madisonville Marketplace408 Covington St., Madisonville, 985.206.9100, www.madisonvillemarketplace.comThe original tin ceiling is still there, freshened up with several coats of crisp white paint, but the nuts and bolts, wheelbarrows and shovels that once filled this century-old hardware store are gone, replaced by a chic assortment of upscale home decor — silk draperies by Hatcreek Design, loads of original artwork, custom framing, handmade bath lotions and soaps, hand-strung necklaces and even pet portraiture.

When the hardware store closed, John Porter, owner of A Work of Art custom framing, came up with the idea for the Madisonville Marketplace, a collection of shops all housed under one roof. Little stalls filled with arts, crafts and antiques line the walls of the 8,000-square-foot building. In an adjacent room, the space turns from art gallery to community center, with a variety of classes, from sewing lessons to painting classes to cooking demos, are planned.
